 Genuss und Pläne...

Pleasure and plans...

 Did you recognized that  Elisabeth's dc theme 'State Of Mind' is moving me?

dc Little Red Riding Hood

 *1

 One of these days even I will tell both of my (red haired) daughters, "My dear daughter, my dear daughter, keep on the straight way, doesn't matter if in the woods or in urban jungle... be attentive of a hungry wolf!"...

 *2

*3

and

 *4

 One of these days I will tell my son, " My dear son, be attentive of little Red Riding Hood!"...

 ♥♥♥

This fairy tale is written down by the Grimm Brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The younger brother Ludwig Emil (*2) was a painter in the earliest European artist colony in Hesse, Germany. Later the German painter Otto Ubbelohde lives there, too, and illustrated this fairy (*1) which is orininally from France. Interesting is that the costume of the Schwalm in Hesse for the girls is with a little red hat. This tale could be work as an initiation for young girls when the time comes for their menarge.

 Our host for this week's dc is dear Patrice with, you know it already, no?
 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
As a child reading this fairy tale I felt compassion with both, Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. I've made this drawing by pencil, red ink and lipstick.

For more Reds please visit dear Patrice's marvellous place. Wish you a happy sunday!

Mit Barbara zu Louis Gurlitt

Im mikkels haben Barbara und ich uns auf ein paar Leckereien getroffen, 

um dann ins Jenischhaus zu fahren und die Ausstellung von dem Deutschen Maler

 Louis Gurlitt anzusehen.

At the mikkels Barbara and I has met for some dainties, eventually to move to the Jenischhouse to watch the German Painter Louis Gurlitt in a exhibit.

Vorbei auch an Mammutbäumen... Past even at Sequoia...

Drinnen Himmlisches... Inside heavenly...

in Öl... in oil...

mit Bleistift... with lead pencil...

und schönes Unfertiges... and beautiful unfinished...

 

  ... und draussen Ginkgofrüchte, die wir erst eifrig aufsammeln, dann aber naserümpfend wieder wegwerfen, weil sie stinken! Barbara nennt sie 'Stink-go' ;)

 ... and outside fruits of Ginkgo tree, that we first avid collects, but next sniffish dumps away because they are stinking! Barbara names them 'stink-go' ;)

 Andere Zeichnungen auf Plakaten an Straßenwänden inspirieren auch.

Other drawings at posters on walls at the street are inspiring, too.

'Little Red Riding Hood' is coming soon. Stay tuned.
